A partition action would be a good course. You can also receive a reimbursement of legal fees if your action is determined for the good of the owners of the property. You might also want to consider an action for Waste.

answered on Nov 10, 2013

I suggest contacting the IRS and find out the proposed amount of income for the year in question. Ask them to send you copies of their source of income. Then, you can determine if the IRS position is correct or not. Either way, file a return stating your correct position.
